Osmosis Flashcards
Can water molecules travel thorugh cell mebrane assisted and through larger quantities using…
protein channels
water will travel to higher solute (lower water)concentration true of false
true
it is a Hypertonic solution why…
has higher concentration because it has higher solute
Hypotonic solution
external solution that has a low solute concentration and high water concentration compared to body fluids.
solute
component of a solution that gets dissovlved by a solvent
isotonic solution
solution with equal concentration of solution than another solution
solvent
component of a solution that dissovles a solute
solvent ex:liquid
`Carrier & carrier protein
proteins that are imbedded in the phospholipid bilayer and allow the movement of molecules in and out of the cell
Simple diffusion
Type of passive transport that does not use energy and moves molecules from high to low concetration WITHOUT the assiatnce of protein
Facilitated diffusion
Type of passive transport that does not use energy and moves molecules from high to low concetration WITH the assiatnce of protein
Osmosis
A type of passive transport that involves the movement of water across a membrane
